Common Folk and Public Art

Over the last few years Common Folk has participated in various public art projects throughout Berkshire County. We believe murals and other public art pieces beautify and activate neighborhoods. They add color to buildings, walls and streets that may otherwise go unnoticed and can be admired by residents and tourists which establishes a more enjoyable customer and visitor experience.

Learn more about how public murals impact communities around the country.

Every project is unique in development process, partnerships and creative expression. With dozens of visual artists in Common Folk, you can commission your very own public art piece. Are you interested in hiring Common Folk to paint a mural, decorate a window or beautify a sidewalk? The opportunities are endless. Learn more about our public art program below.
